One of the most common small architectural forms in a summer cottage or in a country house is an ordinary arbor. This small structure can significantly increase the comfort of spending time outside the city. For example, you are going with your family to fry a barbecue. Any rain can easily spoil all the fun. This is where the gazebo comes in handy. And if it is also equipped with a barbecue, and also glazed, there is no need to worry about anything. You can use such a structure in any weather.
In this article we will consider what advantages glazed
wooden arbors have and what needs to be considered at their construction.
Such small architectural forms are usually arranged for quiet family holidays, comfortable outdoor recreation both in the summer and in the off-season. If you select the appropriate double-glazed windows, it is perfectly acceptable to use such a room in warm winters. In order to fry barbecue or barbecue here even in severe frosts, you will have to take additional care of heating. Glazed arbors, photos of which you can see on this page, are aesthetically pleasing and reliable. They look a little more solid than usual. Such a construction is essentially a mini-kitchen for special purposes.
The installation of glasses in the gazebo will not only protect the people in it from the wind, rain and snow, but also prevent dirt, fallen leaves, dust, etc. from getting inside. This means that the hostess will not have to clean out all this “free application” weekly to the pleasure of spending pleasant evenings in the open air.
The glazed arbor, of course, remains a small architectural form, and not a residential capital building. In order to feel as close as possible to nature, it is worth choosing the right double-glazed windows. For a summer arbor, sliding models of windows and doors will be an excellent option. For a more thorough construction, it is worth acquiring oar. Hinged windows will make this room too closed and isolated from the environment.
Often a glazed arbor is equipped with a fireplace or, as mentioned above, at least a barbecue. In the first case, the work should be entrusted to a specialist. The construction of such complex structures as a fireplace or stove has its own subtleties and is carried out strictly in compliance with certain technologies.
If they are violated, the consequences can be the most unpredictable. Barbecue, of course, you can set yourself. However, it is worth considering that the length of the chimney should be at least 3 meters. Otherwise, the interior of the room will smoke.
As for the foundation, the frame and the roof, the technologies for their construction are absolutely the same as with the usual arbor. The most commonly used cheap columnar base, conventional frame racks, fixed to the corners to the flange and the upper crowns, as well as some modern roofing material. In general, a glazed arbor from an unglazed in this respect is absolutely no different. Unless the step between the racks should be done taking into account the size of standard double-glazed windows. The same goes for the door. You can use interior plastic.
Thus, a glazed gazebo is, of course, the most convenient option of all possible. However, during its construction, it is worth taking care of the convenient opening of windows, as well as the proper installation of a barbecue.
